outside knitting

As usual, my parents visit went way too fast. It is so nice to have my favorite knitter with me doing what we love to do. It was a gorgeous week filled with sunny days, perfect for sitting outside keeping an eye on our new baby.I pulled out a project that hasn't seen the light of day in months. (Okay, maybe a year.) It was fun for a few rows. That seed stitch is killing me. I am going to try my hardest to do a little on this every week.Mom read my directions out loud while I cast on for the gathered cuff cardi out of Classic Elite's gallery booklet. Don't you just love the cover of that booklet?!

(Mom's project on her lap: Vogue Knitting, winter '10, floral cardigan.)I chose the same color, 5231, as the pattern called for. Not a usual color for me, but should be nice for the summer.

What a beautiful summer cardigan that will be! Everything I'm planning to knit this summer is in that blue! (I need to switch it up a bit, I think). I just finished a cardigan that only had a seed stitch collar and even that amount almost drove me over the edge.

i'm expecting my favorite knitter/mom to come in from germany today... what a wonderful time you must have had and i am sure we will, too!! yarns are ready, i'm sure that suitcase will have some new german knitting mags... - cheers!and do keep going on the blankie - it looks gorgeous so far!! - make it just one/or two/or three/or more rows a day and you'll be getting there..!

I've started this sweater also and have heard the sleeves are done very awkwardly. I am finished w/ left front and working on right front. Will be interested in seeing what your opinion of the sleeve instructions are!

Ha! I almost FELL OVER when I caught a glimpse of your first photo! Did she really take that back out? Good for you! It does look really cute, and will be worth it in the end! Love your (and your mom's) picks, too - I have the cardigan on my list, too!

That blue is stunning! I love that your mom read the directions aloud to you--my grammie does the same to me as we sit together and knit. I do think a seed stitch trow is in the future for me--a perfect way to use up my odds and ends.

oooh that gathered cuff cardi is so sweet! And I love your mum's nail polish and cardi colour - it gives off happy vibes :) Actually all the colours in your photos today make me feel happy just looking at them. Yay for sunny days!

This is such a fun knit. I've had mine knit for a month now, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't finished putting it together. Will suggest that you don't do the staggered cast off on the shoulders though and do short rows instead - makes it much easier to join the shoulders and looks so much nicer.
